Arsenal legend Ian Wright reacts to Sokratis and David Luiz's mistakes vs Watford

Another week and more Arsenal talking points revolving around the club's defence after the 2-2 draw at Watford.

It seems it doesn't even need Shkodran Mustafi to take the field for Arsenal to do the unthinkable from a defensive standpoint these days.

Everything was going swimmingly at half-time for the Gunners. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had done typical Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang things by providing two seamless yet stunning goals.

The first was a fired home goal after a nonchalant spin in the box, before he tapped in Ainsley Maitland-Niles' squared ball.

But then came that pure Arsenal moment.

Almost as common as Arsenal fans' self-depreciation is their penchant for mistakes at the back.

The latest came in the 54th minute at Vicarage Road when the Gunners made a mess of a short goal-kick, not the first time they have done so.

Bernd Leno passed the ball to Sokratis before the defender attempted a pass into midfield, only for Watford's Gerard Deulofeu to intercept and eventually find Tom Cleverley before he found the back of the net from 15 yards.

This mistake naturally led to reaction aplenty from fans and one former star in Ian Wright, who hit the nail on the head with the tweet below.


But that was not the end of the calamitous mistakes, with David Luiz fouling Roberto Pereyra before the latter equalised for Watford, with Wright providing another GIF for the occasion.
